Paris is not the only tragedy on my mind tonight. Today marks one year since my husband died.

Dear Amy,

Once again there are no words adequate ... I hope that you and yours are well.

All our best thoughts and prayers in this difficult moment ... J

Our thoughts are with you, Amy. Be good to yourself.

Yes, our thoughts and prayers are with all that suffer the heartache of a lost loved one. There are more on this Forum than we realize. Being a kinder person is always my goal, though I do fail too often. We need to remember that everyone is in a struggle in this life of one sort or another...at one time or another.

pay a little more and get some real artificial cheese named Velveeta.
ever tried it?

There you go again! Spreading the myth that Velveeta isn't real cheese!

You know better!

Regards!

Amy, my condolences for your loss.

And, Rubert. You have demonstrated your love for your favorite kind of 'cheese' so many times that for balance sake I'll show you one of mine; a Frisian speciality with cloves and more goodies inside it (besides cheese). More than half of it has been consumed since taking this picture with the Pentax... ahum, the, the Pentax K...

Nevermind!

Update.
Most definitely not buying the livE hociR...

She is pushing 2160p 60Hz data over HDMI 2.0 to a 40" Samsung LED.
Wife knows about the 4k TV but not about the PNY N-vidia GTX 970 graphics card

It's easy to hide PC upgrade parts... Until you have to upgrade the case...

Oh yes, many times! I visit Norway every year and I alway's eat the stuff although in my search of the origins of this delicacy I didn't meet any goats in the mountains. Perhaps it has something to do with hiking above the arctic circle. I am sure the animals below also produce milk which could be converted into cheese. But I haven't found any in the local supermarkets. I wonder why....

Well... they are not well suited for domestication, they can be very temperamental and dangerous.

I know!

It was just my weak attempt of some tongue in cheek humor but that doesn't alway's translate very well when posting something on the internet.

Thanks for explaining nonetheless! (It would be quite a photo opportunity when somebody does try to milk a moose...

)
